When sponsors joined and left赞助商的进出时间线
One row per organization, one column per year. A filled cell means the organization sponsored that year; darker means a higher tier (Diamond or Platinum / Gold or Silver / Bronze and others; ACL 2016 lists no tiers). Grey columns are years with no edition or no sponsor list: NAACL was not held in 2014, 2017, 2020, 2023 or 2026. Sorting by last appearance puts current sponsors at the top.每行一家机构，每列一年；有色格子表示当年赞助，颜色越深等级越高（Diamond/Platinum、Gold/Silver、Bronze 及其他；ACL 2016 没标等级）。灰色列是当年没有举办或没拿到名单：NAACL 在 2014、2017、2020、2023、2026 年没有举办。按“最后出现”排序时，最近仍在赞助的机构排在最上面。

For the selected years, organizations ranked by how many editions they sponsored (one count per organization per edition). Pick a conference or all three together, and how many to show. The label shows editions and the year span; hover for tiers and estimated totals.所选年份内，按赞助届数给机构排名（同一机构在一届会议计 1 次）。可以选单个会议或三个会议合计，以及显示前几名。右侧是届数和年份跨度，悬停查看各等级次数和估算金额。
By country or region按国家 / 地区
Each cell is the share of a conference’s sponsors (organization × edition, selected years) that come from that country; the number is the count. Darker means a larger share. Host effects show up too: Thai sponsors at ACL 2021 and 2024 (Bangkok), Gulf institutions at EMNLP 2014 (Doha) and 2022 (Abu Dhabi).每格是该会议（所选年份内的“机构 × 届次”）中来自该国家/地区的比例，格内数字是条数，颜色越深占比越高。也能看到东道主效应：ACL 2021、2024（曼谷）的泰国赞助方，EMNLP 2014（多哈）和 2022（阿布扎比）的海湾国家机构。
Who the sponsors are赞助方构成
Share of each conference’s sponsor listings by type of organization, for the selected years. Finance includes trading firms, banks and financial data companies (Bloomberg, Two Sigma, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase).所选年份内，各会议赞助条目按机构类型的占比。“金融 / 量化”包括交易公司、银行和金融数据公司（Bloomberg、Two Sigma、Capital One、JPMorgan Chase）。
Do the estimates hold up?估算靠谱吗？
For five editions the ACL sponsorship director reported the income actually raised (main conference, excluding workshops). Bars are this site’s estimates; dots are the reported figures.ACL 赞助主管的报告给出了五届会议的实际赞助收入（主会，不含 workshop）。柱子是本站估算，圆点是报告的数字。
Estimated sponsorship per edition每届估算赞助额
Each sponsor is counted at its tier’s published price and summed per edition. ACL, EMNLP and NAACL share one sponsorship program with booklets from 2019 on; 2018 reuses the 2019 prices, and earlier years are not estimated. Multi-conference packages are discounted, so a few sponsors paid less than the single-conference price.每家赞助商按其等级的公开价计，加总得到每届的估算。ACL、EMNLP、NAACL 共用一套赞助方案，2019 年起有招商手册；2018 年沿用 2019 年价格，更早的年份不估算。多会议打包有折扣，所以少数赞助商实际付款低于单会议价格。
Compared with ML and HCI和机器学习、HCI 会议比
Left: sponsors per edition (each organization once); solid lines are the NLP conferences, dashed lines NeurIPS and CHI, the largest conference in each of the other two fields. Right: share of sponsor listings from mainland China, per year, for each field.左：每届赞助方数量（同一机构在一届只计 1 次），实线是 NLP 会议，虚线是另外两个领域各自最大的会议 NeurIPS 和 CHI。右：每年赞助条目中来自中国大陆的比例，按领域分。
Companies that sponsor NLP and at least one of the other two fields, by the number of editions they sponsored in each (selected years). HCI counts CHI, CSCW, UIST and UbiComp.赞助 NLP 会议、并至少赞助过另外一个领域的企业，以及在所选年份内各领域赞助的届数。HCI 只计 CHI、CSCW、UIST、UbiComp。
Summary总结
Between HCI and ML in size, and growing. At published tier prices ACL went from about — in 2018 to — in 2025. That is close to what the ACL reports actually raising, but still far below NeurIPS (—) and well above CHI (—).
Many more Chinese sponsors. Since 2022, — of NLP sponsor listings come from mainland Chinese companies (Baidu, ByteDance, Alibaba, Ant Group, Tencent, Meituan, Xiaomi), against — at the ML conferences and — at CHI, CSCW, UIST and UbiComp.
A field with its own industry. Besides the big tech companies, language-technology firms sponsor year after year: Grammarly, Babelscape, Nuance, Duolingo, Translated, LivePerson and ASAPP, and data vendors such as DataOcean AI, Appen and Toloka. Finance makes up — of listings, led by Bloomberg.
Every sponsor listing from official or archived pages in the selected years. Source is the page it came from. Search, or click a header to sort.所选年份内的每条官网/存档页赞助记录；“来源”列是抓取的网页。可搜索、点表头排序。

Where the data come from数据来源
Each edition’s sponsor page, read from archived copies on the Internet Archive (EMNLP 2026 from the live page). ACL 2022’s page shows logos without names, so its tiers come from the ACL Sponsorship Director’s report, which lists every sponsor by tier.各届官网的赞助页，通过 Internet Archive 的存档读取（EMNLP 2026 取自当前网页）。ACL 2022 的赞助页只有不带名字的 logo，所以用的是 ACL 赞助主管报告里按等级列出的名单。
Prices come from the sponsorship booklets ACL publishes for its conferences (2019–2026). Reported income comes from the Sponsorship Director’s reports on the ACL admin wiki (2023 Q1 and 2024 Q1).价格来自 ACL 为旗下会议发布的赞助手册（2019–2026）。实际收入来自 ACL admin wiki 上赞助主管的报告（2023 年第一季度、2024 年第一季度）。
An organization counts once per conference edition, at its highest tier. Diversity and inclusion sponsorships, local and destination partners (tourism boards, city governments), award and student-volunteer sponsors are listed but have no price, so they do not add to the estimates.同一机构在一届会议只计 1 次，取最高等级。多元与包容（D&I）赞助、本地和目的地合作方（旅游局、市政府）、奖项和学生志愿者赞助都列出，但没有价格，不计入估算。
Brands of one company are merged with the same rules as the ML page: DeepMind into Google; LinkedIn and Microsoft Translator into Microsoft; Toutiao into ByteDance; Naver Labs Europe into NAVER; Alibaba Cloud and Taobao into Alibaba (Ant Group kept separate); A9 into Amazon. HLTCOE and CLSP count as Johns Hopkins University, ISI as USC.同一公司的品牌按机器学习页面的规则合并：DeepMind 计入 Google；LinkedIn、Microsoft Translator 计入 Microsoft；今日头条计入字节；Naver Labs Europe 计入 NAVER；阿里云、淘天计入阿里巴巴（蚂蚁单列）；A9 计入 Amazon。HLTCOE 和 CLSP 计入约翰斯·霍普金斯大学，ISI 计入 USC。
Finance / quant covers trading firms, banks and financial data companies.“金融 / 量化”包括交易公司、银行和金融数据公司。
Estimated amounts估算金额
Each sponsor counts at its tier’s price for that conference and year. 2018 uses the 2019 prices, which were the first published; editions before 2018 are not estimated. From 2023 the Supporter tier is no longer listed and counts as $2,000.每家赞助商按当年该会议该等级的价格计。2018 年用 2019 年（最早公开的一份）价格；2018 年以前不估算。2023 年起手册不再列 Supporter 等级，按 $2,000 计。
The estimates come within about 10% of the reported income for the five editions where both exist (2022–2023). Sponsors buying several conferences at once get a discount, and some deals include extras, so single editions can be off in either direction.在同时有估算和实际收入的五届（2022–2023）里，估算和实际相差约 10% 以内。同时赞助多个会议的打包有折扣，有些合同还有附加项，所以单届估算可能偏高也可能偏低。
Countries国家 / 地区
Two modes, switchable at the top: the sponsoring entity’s headquarters, or its parent company (for example Megagon Labs is in the US, its parent Recruit in Japan). A few small companies could not be located; they stay in the lists but get no country row.两种口径，可在顶部切换：赞助实体总部所在地，或母公司国籍（例如 Megagon Labs 在美国，母公司 Recruit 在日本）。少数小公司无法确定所在地，仍计入名单，但不单列国家。
